MAKITA RELEASES NEW MULTI-SPEED LXT® IMPACT DRIVER

New Impact Driver offers precise fastening control within a wide range of applications

Makita has released a new 18V LXT® Brushless 4-Speed Impact Driver (XDT20). The new Impact Driver sets new standards with multiple speed sections for precise fastening control with a wide range of applications.

November 1, 2024, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools, power equipment, and accessories, has released the 18V LXT® Brushless 4-Speed Impact Driver (XDT20). The new Impact Driver sets new standards with multiple speed sections for precise fastening control with a wide range of applications. The power and fastening controls are positioned at the rear of the handle for added convenience. 

 
Compact Form, High Power
The Impact Driver features Assist Mode (A-mode) which helps eliminate "screw cam-out" and "cross threading" by driving at low speed until tightening begins. It also features two Tightening Modes (T-mode) for faster tightening of self-drilling screws in thick or thin gauge metal that helps prevent damage to the screw or workpiece. The XDT20 delivers industry-leading performance in a compact and ergonomic design.
 
Convenience Features
The impact driver combines power, speed, and precision. A one-touch 4-speed power selector button is positioned on the rear of the impact driver, which enables one-handed speed changes. It includes reverse rotation auto-stop mode which stops rotation and impact when the fastener is loosened adequately to help prevent over-loosening and dropped fasteners.
 
Makita® LXT® System
The new Articulating Pole Saw is part of Makita’s expanding LXT® system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion batteries. Makita 18V LXT® batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
